Friday’s NFL preseason slate came with a scary moment.
The Lions-Falcons game was suspended in the fourth quarter after Detroit defensive back Morice Norris left the game in an ambulance with an apparent head or neck injury when he collided with Atlanta’s Nathan Carter.
Head coach Dan Campbell said Norris was breathing and had movement while at Grady Memorial Hospital when speaking to reporters after the game.
Hours after the contest, the Lions posted on social media that the defensive back was in “stable condition” but remaining at the hospital.
“Morice Norris is in stable condition and has feeling and movement in all his extremities,” the team wrote on X. “He will remain at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta overnight for observation.
